About Bombay Pav Bhaji

Bombay Pav Bhaji is an iconic street food that has been adapted by many homes as a part of their weekly menu. Of course, while making at home, one can control the factors like freshness, quality, hygiene and health.

Going little bit easy on the oil and butter, adding in choice veggies still means one super delish snack or even a full meal.
